2:9 - Psalm 139

This one is pretty sweet too. It’s Psalm 139, and it speaks of our Creator knowing us and intricately forming us. Here’s some random thoughts for you:

• The Lord has searched us and known us. He sees you when you’re sleeping, and He knows when you’re awake. For real this time….
• He knows our thoughts. That’s terrifying, but awe-inspiring at the same time. When we think on Him…He knows it. When we think on something else…He knows it.
• He knows our ways, not simply our thoughts. He knows how we act, and He knows what we are going to say, before we say it. He can always, always, always, 100% of the time, finish our sentence.
• I love David’s conclusion about these statements: there’s no way I can ever attain that kind of knowledge. Me either, David. Me either.
• Not only can we avoid Him knowing us, but neither can we avoid Him. Jonah tried..but he couldn’t. There is no place to hide from God. He sees all, and is everywhere.
• We are an open book before the Lord of creation.
• God knows us because He created us! I love the imagery here. That we were not assembled like robots or computers, but “knit together”: as a beautiful piece of art. We are His gorgeous tapestries, to be displayed as a reflection of who He is.
• God knows our path before we take it. {in His book was written, every one of our days, before we set foot on earth} There goes free will….
• Are God’s thoughts precious to me?
• One more thing….
• If you dare…pray the last couple of verses: “Search me O God”. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Oh, and here are Pablo’s thoughts (link).
